The idea

Exchange DuE-UdC 1999-2003• The results which we expect to obtain through the joint

activities consist in the acquisition of experience andknowledge, as well as the development of new tools inthe following areas:

• Cooperative use of Java-based replicated applications(WhiteBoard, Document processing, Discussing Board),developing and evaluating benchmark applications forthe didactic network tool. Modeling, constructing andimplementing virtual environments through dynamiclearning materials. Discussing new ideas for interfacesusing complementary perception channels, concretemodeling including 3D, sound and tactile models,automatic generation of adequate concept keyboards.
